Funniest part of reading this all is that I am repulsed by trans folk. Sorry, that's just that. However I do believe that they should have the right to be. Like, just be - happy, yourself, who cares what others think/feel, they aren't kidnapping anyone to turn them trans, they are doing stuff to themselves only. Sheesh.
But I do still perceive myself in negative light due to that repulsion. And then I see news what happens in USA and I am like, whaaaa. Cuz even if I did act upon that repulsion, that's going weird way. Like, there's no any try at helping. It's not "Ew, unnatural, we need to fix their psyche" (WHICH IS EVIL) or "Ew, they need reaffirmation about their sex!" (...which is barely better). No, straight up "Trans should go on without any kind of help". Why? Wtf. xD
Edit: Hell, even worse. Trans should be persecuted for having feelings/perceptions not dependent on their own volition. Yay. Wtf is wrong with people.
I kind of appreciate the "I don't need to understand or like you to support" attitude, but repulsion is a strong reaction.
Have you ever reflected upon the why?
Especially if you don't like that reaction in yourself in the first place, as you say, maybe it would be worth working on it?
Have you ever reflected upon the why? but you seem above that kind of thing. there are a lot of things in nature you are naturally repulsed by just because its strong does not mean its not a natural even uncontrollable reaction. but i guess framing the question fits you well. the whole repulsion is a strong reaction so it must just be you very bad person is just stupid.
I've never said you were a bad person for it.
You seem busy defending yourself from yourself, I'll leave you to it.
